Time for the big girl bed!

So, since Ellie has been born she has been sleeping in a pack and play in our room. Since she is 6 months old (and over the weight limit) I knew we needed to make the transition to the crib soon. I have just been putting it off because she doesn't sleep well and I still like having her close. Well, last night I found that I can put it off no more. She has been sleeping so terribly that I decided to let her cry a bit and try to learn to put herself to sleep. Well, it was not fun and at one point I went in to her and she has up in her knees holding on to the side of the pack and play! I didn't know she could pull up to her knees! She could have fallen out! So, today we made the transition! I went and bought a breathable crib bumper because I was afraid she would plant her face in her other one and suffocate. So tonight I turned on a white noise machine and put her in her bed...there was a lot of crying. I finally gave in and just nursed her to sleep. I put her down and she started crying so I just stayed and patted her until she fell asleep. So I guess she didn't out herself to sleep, but it was much less traumatic for both of us. Hopefully she likes her new bed and stays there all night! :-)
This weekend my sister got married! It is hard to believe but she looked she happy and beautiful! Here are some pictures from her big day.
